Item description:
Seben's Big Boss 150/1400 reflector telescope is, because of its perfect workmanship and enormous performance data, the unquestioned top telescope of Seben's astronomy series.
Undreamed of possibilities become true for the ambitious user of Seben's Big Boss telescope because of its huge 150mm aperture and the tremendous focal length of 1400mm.
Seben's Big Boss telescope is a catadioptric telescope. The greatest advantage of this design is its compactness that you will especially notice during the transport and the setting up of the telescope. And since the wind hasn't got such a great target, it won't be shaken so badly during stormy nights.
Far-away observation targets, which can hardly be seen with average telescopes, are stunningly close with Seben's Big Boss telescope. Faintest discernable stars: 13.8M! (over 5,650,000 stars visible!!!!)
Enjoy the superior light gathering ability and high resolution of Seben's Big Boss telescope!
Because of its up-to-date-construction, and in combination with its modern, high performance 1.25” (31.7mm) accessory sockets, you are able to equip Seben's Big Boss telescope with nearly every accessory available. It is even possible to extend Seben's Big Boss telescope for the popular pastime of Astrophotography!
Please note, that Seben's Astronomy Products are always provided with a lot of accessories, for which you usually would have to pay a lot of money! Contrary to that, we provide you considerably accessories for free!
The added 31.7mm (1.25“) Moon Filter reduces the Moon's glare. This is produced by reflected sunlight and normally washes out most of the craters and other surface details from view.
The 31.7mm (1.25“) 1,5x Erecting Eyepiece produces an upright and side correct image. This is of particular importance for terrestrial viewing, because usually the image would appear upside down in an astronomical telescope. You can use it for unforgettable terrestrial observations. Animals, birds and landscapes can be seen in unimaginable precision, even over great distances.
Because of its lower power the 6x30 Finder Scope makes it easier to locate celestial objects.
With the provided 31.7mm (1.25“) Plössl eyepieces (25mm, 6.5mm) the foundation stone for a high quality eyepiece collection is laid. Plössl eyepieces have always been known for their high quality and provide a clearly notable increased image quality than ordinary eyepieces. With these two eyepieces you can look forward to observe with the following magnifications, without further accessories having to be bought expensively: 56x, 215x.
The extremely stable, vertically adjustable Tripod enables best observation conditions, especially if you want to shift from celestial to terrestrial viewing or vice versa.
Furthermore we want to accentuate the equatorial mount of the telescope, which enables easy tracking of celestial objects as they move across the night sky. Contrary to a simply two-axis altazimuth mount which can only be moved in altitude, up and down, or azimuth, side to side, as separate motions, an equatorial mount also has a rotational axis parallel to the Earth's axis of rotation. The equatorial axis (the right ascension) of an equatorial mount is paired with a second perpendicular axis of motion (known as the declination).
Seben's Big Boss telescope and its tremendous performance will impress you to such a great extent that you will be fascinated by it for the rest of your life!
